"I had originally wanted to become a part of Bridging the Gaps to gain a deeper understanding of the needs and concerns of the underserved. I realized that while patients' backgrounds, medical condititions, and treatment plans made them diverse, theri desire to feel like someone had cared about them was universal. Although I have had the privilege to help this community, what I have received in return is far greater than what I could have fathomed. Bridging the Gaps has solidified my desire to direct my career towards community medicine, perhaps, working in a federally qualified health center, like HC10." -- Nicole.
